    This Lunches with Leaders program will feature Seattle University Associate Professor, poet, scholar and activist Gabriella Gutiarrez y Muhs, who has been a member of the SU community since 2000. She has served as the Wismer Professor for Gender and Diversity Studies (2007-2009), co-directs the Patricia Wismer Center for Gender, Justice, and Diversity, and directs the Diversity, Citizenship, and Social Justice Track in the core. "Dr. G.," as her students respectfully call her, is well-published on Chicana subjectivity, popular culture, transnationalism, spirituality, feminist theory, cross-cultural issues, post-colonialism and colonization, im/migration, and identity. She recently published Rebozos de Palabras: An Helena María Viramontes Reader (2013) and Presumed Incompetent: The Intersections of Race and Class for Women in Academia (2012), both of which will be available for sale before and after the César Chávez Celebration.
